Sofia Goggia won the Kvitfjell Super-G today (ET), reinforcing her speed credentials and invoking the downhill Globe in her victory comments. The 33-year-old Italian skier edged Switzerland’s Corinne Suter by 0. 32 seconds and celebrated what she described as the completion of both the downhill and Super-G globes. The result reshaped the late-season battle for the overall Crystal Globe with two races left.
Race results and immediate impact
Goggia recorded her tenth career Super-G World Cup victory and her third Super-G win this season, finishing 0. 32 seconds ahead of Corinne Suter. Germany’s Kira Weidle-Winkelmann took third, 0. 60 seconds back. The victory continues a season of strong results for Goggia, who this year added multiple wins and podiums in Super-G events and placed in the top ten across all eight Super-G races.
The finish also mattered for the overall standings. Mikaela Shiffrin placed 22nd and did not score World Cup points in the Kvitfjell Super-G, remaining at 1, 286 points with two races left in the season. Emma Aicher, currently second in the standings, finished fourth in the Super-G and reduced Shiffrin’s lead by 50 points; Aicher sits on 1, 241 points and is now 45 points behind Shiffrin. Those margins set up a direct fight for the season Globe as the tour heads to the final events.
Downhill and Super-G: Goggia Completes Both Globes
Goggia spoke in measured terms about her season and the importance of speed events. Sofia Goggia, 33-year-old Italian skier, said: “It was a bit of a crazy season for me. I was already really fast here last season, so I knew I was competitive. When you’re under pressure, you obviously have to be able to handle it. I’m happy with how things turned out. “
She emphasized scope and completeness as a speed specialist: “If you want to be a complete speed skier, you have to get both the Globes in Downhill and Super-G, and today I finally did it, and I can say I’m a little bit more complete, ” Goggia added. The assertion frames the Kvitfjell victory not only as an individual race win but as the capstone on a season that, in her view, includes both downhill and Super-G success.
Reactions and what to watch next
German skier Emma Aicher, currently second in the standings, assessed the pressure around the Globe chase: “I try not to think about the Globe. I’m going to focus on my skiing, and we’ll see what happens. ” That mindset matters with two races remaining; Aicher has tightened the gap to Shiffrin but still trails by 45 points.
With the Super-G title secured at Kvitfjell and the season resolving over the remaining events, attention will shift to whether Goggia’s form holds and how the overall Crystal Globe battle plays out. The key variables are consistent scoring from the leaders and any final-day shifts in speed events, especially in downhill, where margins have repeatedly decided titles this season. Expect the standings to remain fluid as contenders chase points in the last two races and the downhill battles intensify.
